Max speed ~ Mach 1.TRT reporter say 70.2km but that make the speed to mach 3.
It says "SAKI-SIDA distance 34.8km". I don't know what that means, maybe Anmdt can explain, but ULAQ can't be this far from the target because you need to be at a height of around 100m to see the horizon at 35km, and ULAQ's EO mast is much shorter than that.Do i read it correct? Ulaq from 30km plus filming the target?
The reporter and crowd reacts in real-time to launch and hit, the reporter also talks uninterrupted and unscripted during the whole flight (at least I did not notice any obvious cuts in the audio).Yes but how do you get 68 seconds, was the feed live?
If Saki is TCG-Işın (I don’t know what Saki is, apart from a nice Japanese drink) , as @era_shield has stated, ULAQ needs to be closer than 8km, provided it has an EO mast height of ~5metres to be able to take pictures as we are seeing here.Saki-sida distance = distance between station and Ulaq.
There is no way Atmaca can do more than 0.9 Mach speed. But as you right fully stated there must be some mistake in the figures uttered by the reporter and the time of ”actual” flight.The reporter and crowd reacts in real-time to launch and hit, the reporter also talks uninterrupted and unscripted during the whole flight (at least I did not notice any obvious cuts in the audio).
Note that I'm not saying that Atmaca is doing mach 3 but thinking there must be some information wrong such as distance given by reporter.
TCG Isın was not moving, they have done maximum range and moving target tests earlier with dummy warhead.There is no way Atmaca can do more than 0.9 Mach speed. But as you right fully stated there must be some mistake in the figures uttered by the reporter and the time of ”actual” flight.
There are few important points that are missing :
1. What is the actual distance of the target?
2. Was TCG Işın moving when hit?
I can’t imagine Roketsan is going to do an important live test like this with a stationary target at 70 km distance when only recently have they updated maximum range as 250km.
@Nutuk ; thanks for info!
He has also mentioned that AKYA torpedo deliveries to our subs will be on the way before the end of the year. That is a big force multiplier in it’s own right. No Anti-Ship-Missile is a replacement for a ship killer full size torpedo. An Akya exploding 1-1.5 m below the hull of any ship up to the size of a destroyer, will send her to the bottom of the sea.Roketsan CEO talks about Atmaca.
Delivery of serial production will commence very soon.
New medium range AShM launched from Helicopter is announced.
